Why Choose Prescription Strength Orlistat for Weight Loss?
Prescription Strength Orlistat - How It Works
Orlistat 120mg is a prescription-only weight loss treatment that works by blocking approximately one third of the dietary fat you consume. Unlike appetite suppressants, orlistat acts locally in your digestive system, inhibiting lipase enzymes that break down fat. The unabsorbed fat passes naturally through your body, which may help support weight management when used alongside a reduced-calorie, lower-fat diet and increased physical activity.
Orlistat vs Xenical - Same Clinical Effect, Different Price
EverydayMeds offers both generic orlistat 120mg and branded Xenical 120mg. Both contain identical active ingredients at the same prescription strength, providing the same clinical effect. Generic orlistat costs £29.69 for a 4-week supply (with EDM10), whilst Xenical costs £38.69 - a saving of £9 per month with the generic option. Your choice depends on personal preference and budget considerations.
Who May Be Suitable for Prescription Orlistat?
Prescription-strength orlistat may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 28 or above with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Suitability is determined through individual clinical assessment by a UK-licensed prescriber. Treatment works best when combined with dietary changes and increased physical activity levels.

Important Safety Information
Like all prescription medicines, orlistat may cause side effects, particularly gastrointestinal effects that are more common when eating high-fat meals. These can be minimised by keeping meals low in fat (approximately 15g per meal). Side effects may include oily stools, increased bowel movements, and abdominal discomfort. Take orlistat exactly as prescribed - one 120mg capsule with each main meal containing fat, up to three times daily. A daily multivitamin is recommended, taken at bedtime.
